Where we pay attention is where we give our power. Many adopted people think a great deal about the past, about what could have or should have been. What does that do to our strength?

Early in the Martha Beck Wayfinder coaching program, we learned the body compass was our greatest tool for knowing what was good or not good for us, for what was true or not true for us.

One thing I’ve learned (of so so many things) in Martha Beck’s Wayfinder course is that a direct way of confronting anxiety is to head into creativity.

When I didn’t have money worries this past year, it was like I had ripped out old carpet and found the rot that was beneath.

You know (or I bet you can imagine!) that feeling when you’re at the airport and you go to check in, and your wallet/phone is nowhere to be found?

Here’s what I discovered about myself after decades of spending money almost always slightly faster than I could make it.

Here's one reason I think it makes perfect sense for many adopted people to have money issues: money can represent safety, security, power, love, joy, identity, self-worth, and status. Money allows us to pursue our goals.

There’s an underlying belief in the adoptee community that if you create an event, you need to take into account that many people will say they can’t afford it even if you make it what you feel is “affordable”.

My goal is to be MDMA in human form and to, with loving respect, blow your mind enough so that you leave feeling empowered and like that was money and time well spent.

I have been struggling with some demon I have not been able to identify ever since my dad died a year and a half ago.

Birthing a book can be so much more than just sitting at a computer, typing.

Why bother? What’s the point in trying to get a wonderful feeling or vision on paper when chances are really good you are going to fail?
